49ers Need to Add a Center!

49erfanatic · 2020-10-22T13:17:23-07:00

I am getting very concerned that Lynch and Shanahan are undervaluing the center position. With Richburg and Garland both out for another 5 or 6 weeks, are we gonna just rely on Grass and Brunskill (who is not a true center) backing him up? Center is arguably one of the 4 or 5 most important positions on the team. They are the QB of the offensive line, and a lot of things break down on offense when the center is not playing at a high level. If the 49ers are serious about competing for a playoff spot, and getting back to the super bowl, we need more talent and depth at center to weather the gauntlet of the next 6 games. We are the most injured team in the NFL, so there is a high probability that Grasu goes out at some point over that stretch. And I'm not even sure we can win with Grasu, even when healthy. I hope the Niners are at least looking into the possibility of adding someone competent at this position, cause a lack of execution here can blow up the rest of our season.

If we don't get Mack or Linsley I'm kinda hoping they draft Landon Dickerson AND Creed Humphrey. Both can play guard and center and excel at both. Then draft Ben Cleveland or Deonte Brown and boom the IOL is no longer a problem.
